total).
A
negotiable fee is required before I search for your item

show. Kaneohe, Waimanalo and Kailua is $130.00 just to show. Sandy beach
and Makapuu is $100.00
If this is your case, you may

If you break
the cable of the detector, you will lose $100 of your deposit.
If you can
not come up with a cash deposit, you will have to do a cash transfer via
paypal, the transaction needs to be a "personal" one,
it will be refunded back to you after the return of my detector. The
rental is still a cash payment in advance. If any fees are associated with
the paypal "deposit" the renter will pay the associated fees.

Recommendations:
|
You do NOT want to tell anyone
you lost a ring or item, keep that to yourself, some places on Oahu,
you do not want to say you (we) will be doing metal detecting (state
parks, military bases, private beaches - Koolina). Often times its
the person you tell that will go in and find your ring or item and
keep it (lifeguard or beach attendant or their friends). Hanauma bay
searches must be done on a rental basis, I will give you details
later. |
If you lost your
ring or item in water over your head (more than 5 feet deep) or far
offshore,
and want to rent a metal detector,
you
will have to be able to scuba dive, or
you may have to
consider the item is totally lost |
A negotiable fee is required before I search for your item
Being the best in the island it can take 2 minutes to 3 hours as long as
you know where it is.
If
you are dealing with a diamond ring or piece of jewelry it is best to be
honest and fair with us, as dishonest and cheap people usually cause
problems.
We
ask that you offer at least $200 if the value of the item is $500
A
ring with a 1/4 carat diamond usually is $200.00 a 1/2 carat engagement
ring will usually run $300 to $525 ........once your item goes past
$3000.00 its a good idea to offer 10% of the value
Please note,
I DO NOT
want your rings or jewelry, I prefer to have cash and return your item, we
both walk away happy and my Karma wont kill me.
We also
can find dentures, glasses, some chains, bracelets, watches
|
I will
ask you these questions, please have the answers ready!
Do you know exactly
where the ring is? and do you know exactly when it fell off?
Is it over your head
depth? Can you touch bottom?
What time of day was
it lost?
Do you have exact
landmarks, pictures?
Was the bottom sandy,
or rocky?
Can you put me on a
spot the area the size of 2 parking spaces for 2 cars?
If you dont know
exactly where you lost the ring in the water, its $75.00 to show up
and $75.00 if we find it, for a plain wedding band, this buys you 1
hour of my time in the water. If you say "its out there" $75 to
start! |

We are always called by
the Outrigger Canoe Club when any member loses a valuable item
We have also
been called by the Royal Hawaiian Hotel's and the Halekulani concierge
desk to recover a guests lost ring.
We found this
ring and returned it for the $500 reward, it sat in the water for 10 days before
the owners contacted me. They were contacted by someone claiming to be
"the best in the island" he could not find it. 2 other guys also
tried to find it, they were amateurs. I have been metal detecting since
1979
